Autos - Steve first interest--perhaps an obsession--was
with cars. Most any car would do until his family took delivery
of a new Mercedes-Benz at the factory in Stuttgart in 1961.
Steve's first cars were considerably more pedestrian--a 1959 Renault
Dauphine followed by a 1960 Renault Caravelle. Here are some
links to some pages we find interesting

Mercedes-Benz pages--particularly interesting to MB aficionado's for
some of the service info found there.

but I served on them for 26 years.
Travel - We love to travel--especially by road. After
20 years of traveling by car and staying in motels, we've switched to RVing and we love it. We especially like the back roads and
places off the beaten path. For example . .

Dogs - most folks would call us empty nesters, but we call
our dogs our kids now, so the nest isn't completely empty. These
kids don't spend as much money as the 2-legged ones, but they aren't
far behind! A whole page dedicated to our dogs
